Two young golfers from Cheshire defeated a field boasting greater experience to win the 2007/08 Matchplay Championship at the terrific Taba Heights Beach Resort in Egypt. Michael Brockbank, an 18-year-old from Carden Park who plays off 14 and James Lightfoot, 19, from Upton-by-Chester, danced their way to an impressive and colourful victory.

Well for thirty two golfers from around the UK and Eire the dream came true in October.
